Review of Larry Crowne (2011) by Paul W — 13 Jan 2012

By all accounts everyone hates this movie, apparently because whips recession, mortgage crisis, and massive unemployment into a light & fluffy feel-good meringue. Unlike the Hollywood movies of the Great Depression era, I suppose.

I'm not real big on light romantic comedies, but I have to say I quite enjoyed Larry Crowne. We need movies like this during hard times. One worrying trend, though ... this is the second movie I've seen inside of a week where a character plays a blogger who's an asshole.

I hope "asshole blogger" doesn't become a stock Hollywood character!
